The new adidas Predator Elite Fold-Over Tongue FG from the Chaos vs Control Pack: a maximum strike surface for goal kicks, worn by Emiliano Martinez.
The NANOSTRIKE+ upper gives you tangible hold on the ball through its micro-grip dots, and the PRIMEKNIT collar wraps the ankle like a second skin. POWERSPINE puts maximum power into every drop kick, and the STRIKEFRAME sole delivers explosive pushes when you rush off your line. A football boot built for goalkeepers who control the game.
KEEPER RATING
The Elite package convinces both ways: The grippy FOLD-OVER strike zone sharpens goal kicks and long drop kicks, and the elastic knit collar adds hold through saves and quick direction changes. Goalkeepers wearing the Predator include Unai Simon, Mike Maignan and Norway's Orjan Nyland.

UPPER
NANOSTRIKE+ synthetic upper: a featherlight construction with micro-grip dots across the entire contact zone for tangible grip and precision on every touch. Complemented by the FOLD-OVER tongue with a micro-grip texture and a structured adidas performance logo for a clean, undisturbed strike surface.
COLLAR
PRIMEKNIT collar made of adaptive-elastic adidas performance knit. It wraps the ankle like a second skin and adds secure hold: a detail reserved for the Elite model.
OUTSOLE
STRIKEFRAME FG plate: a one-piece high-tech polymer sole with a biomechanically optimised stud layout (Predator 26) for maximum hold and stability from heel to toe on firm, dry natural grass. The integrated POWERSPINE torsion element boosts shot power while preventing overextension.
CLOSURE
Lacing with the FOLD-OVER tongue. The tongue folds back over the lacing zone, enlarges the strike surface and removes laces from the point of ball contact.
